Hi,
i dont know much about sharprom things. Using Opie, as it is distributed with openzaurus for example, there is no problem to sync with evolution. You just have to install multisync (also the ip things with ifconfig and routeadd). It works quite nice.
For Sharprom (and depended roms) I am always reading good voices about ko/PI. In this case please have a look at: http://pi-sync.net/Cheers,
Sam

OK, now I have a better picture. Say, I'd use Ko/Pi on the Zaurus, then I'd need an application on my desktop that is capable of syncing to/from .ics files. What applications are there that support this feature?

From what I see, Ximian Evoltion doesn't do this. It can only import .ics files.

There's a project called MultiSync, but that only supports the old Sharp PIM formats and the Opie PIM, but not Ko/Pi, see here

What other such applications are there? Is the only viable solution KOrganizer as a sync partner to Ko/Pi?

KO/Pi itself does the actual syncing with the other ics file.
You need an application, that stores its data in an ics file.

You can compile KO/Pi for your Linux desktop.
It does not need anything from KDE.
It just needs the Qt-lib.
And it has more features, less bugs and better usebility than the KDE Desktop KO.

No, this is not the only way. You can use the Opie-PIM applications on a Sharp-Rom and then use multisync with evolution.
The Opie-PIMs have to be installed from the sharp-feed of Opie, they will be linked to the original sharp-PIM-icons.
For me, this works great. You can install Ko/Pi in addition, because Ko/PI will import your Opie-data flawlessly. So if you think about switching to korganizer on the desktop from evolution, this would be the way :-)

I have to second this. I have been running the Opie-PIM calendar on my SL-6000 (and my 5500 before) and it works great. Although I have been using evolution-sync.pl to sync to Mozilla Calendar (which also uses ics files).

I tried, but could not compile it. I downloaded korganizerPi.150.source.tar.gz from http://korganizer.kde.org/korganizer/download.html , unpacked it. Unfortunately there is no configure script, nor an INSTALL file in the tarball. I saw a Makefile, which references tmake. So I installed tmake as well, but it just doesn't work:
